Speaker 1 (00:22):
KFI M six forty. It's later with Mo Kelly.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app giving you the
update in regard to the Canyon Fire, which has burned
more than some fifteen hundred acres. We will continue to
watch that fire from the KFI twenty four hour News
from just let you know we are on it and
we are monitoring it. And in the next segment we'll
tell you about the latest with LADWP, that service outage

(00:48):
which has impacted so many people. We're watching that story
as well. There's a lot going on on this day,
and you think a fire is not a good time
to have a fire when you have this or if
you have like a water service interruption, it's not a
good time to have that when you have this heat.
But you know, that's the way it's been going for
southern California as of late, where these things is a

(01:11):
confluence of things happening at the same time, and sometimes
I think LA just can't get a break. But we
will be watching those two stories, specifically the Canyon fire
and also LADWP to see if there are any updates
with either or both. Maybe with the Canyon fire less
so with LADWP, I don't think they're scheduled for another

(01:32):
update until tomorrow morning, but we'll get into that. Also,
we'll let you know if your car is on the
list of the top stolen vehicles, and we know in
southern California car theft is a thing and depending on
your make and model, you are either more likely or
less likely to become a victim. We'll tell you what

(01:53):
are the tops stolen vehicles in southern California. And also,
la Usd unveiled its new feature attraction buses with Wi Fi.
I wish they would have had that when I was
growing up. Well, I got a ride to school, but
just in general, WiFi would be kind of cool. Have
all these devices and you're sitting on the bus for
maybe an hour or so.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
We'll tell you about that before the end of the hour.
And I'll have my final thought tonight. It has to
do with sports and politics, because once again, politics just
can't seem to.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Stay out of sports.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Every time you turn around, politics is being used, or
at least presented as to supposed solution to issues in sports.
Seems kind of hypocritical, given that I don't want politics
in my sports. Sorry to me to sound like Bill Clinton.
I am not going to answer that subpoena they sent
me this week.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Anyhow, how are you doing today? Mark?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
I was waiting for you get to ta get a
rim shot for that. But Fush is not with us today.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, Steph is not working with us today. He had
other plans. He had better plans. And the lovely Robin
has joined us. Robin, it's been a while since we've
worked together. It's good to see, though.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
How have you been.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
I've been pretty good, you know. I've been doing Gary
and Shannon for the most part.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Nice, all right, all right, they keeping you busy.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's good to know in this business because if they
stop calling, you know, that could be the end. It's
always good to be wanted around here, let me tell you.
And I live very close so you can afford to
live close to here.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, I live in No Ho.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But just like, yeah, I got to pick up some
extra shifts working the board.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
I got I don't know, I got lucky. I feel
like the places around me are like at least four
hundred more.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Okay, let me just get in your business real quick.
Is it rent control?

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay? Nice? Those are hard to get in. Those are
hard to find. These days. Do I have to.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Disappear somebody get on the list for one of those?
How does that work exactly?

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
There need to be an accident.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Admit it.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
You have the hook up and you don't want to
how that deal would down. Just say like, look, this
is my personal business.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
You can tell me off the air. Don't listen to them. Well,
welcome Robin. It's good to have you back. Hey, Mark,

Do you know in advance of your run a report
tomorrow what you might be talking about.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Or shooting for that new horror film called Weapons? Oh? Yeah,
do you have high expectations? I do.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I've heard some good stuff about it, but you know,
you never know. Naked Gun got a ninety percent positive
Unrotten Tomatoes and that was one of the worst things
ever made.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
So it's always a crapshoot. Moll are you gonna take
Twalla with you this time?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I've asked him about fifty times and would you be
my day to?

Speaker 7 (04:42):
While I have denied him fifty times, There's no way
in hell I'm gonna go see that the trip.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
And here's the crazy thing.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
He does not remember when we went to go and
see Fantastic Four for some reason other this was one
of the trailers that they played in front of it.
He did not notice that. I not only closed my eyes,
but I held my I just put my head down.
I didn't want to look. I didn't want to.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't want anything to do with the trailer. You'll
be okay. I'll be there to protect you. That's gonna happen. Okay, No,
I'm okay.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
I don't do horror mark especially something has to do
with kids disappearing.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Not my that's not my swing. I'll hold your hand
through the whole movie. No, you will not.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
We'll put your hand. We put it, your hand on
his knee. At least let you let him know that
you're there. Don't bring up the popcorn bucket thing. Okay,
oh did you reach it? We better move on. Never mind.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
How is that.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Weird kid that I actually wanted to be on? Like
I wanted to be you know, the twins from Shining
a twin brother, So that wouldn't really work, But I
was that weird kid.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I wanted it to be those kids.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I can see that red Red Rob. That's weird Red Rob. No, No,
the twins in the Hallway didn't say anything. I know that.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I know that, but people just know it's the only
thing I got from the Shining Okay, or I'll puff
and I'll blow your house in Here's Johnny.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's true. Okay, Okay, it's Later with mo Kelly. We
have LADWP think when we come back. I am six Storty.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
We're live on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 8 (06:15):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
KFI. It's Later with Mo Kelly. We're live on YouTube.
Come on and join the Mo Migos. Make sure you subscribe,
like and share.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
We're doing something special here with our video simulcasts, and
we definitely want you to be part of it. The
Mo Migos the friends of the show who hang out
there and they have their own relationship and their own party.
They have their own conversations. We do polls for you
to respond to. We'll read some of your comments on
the air and interact with you. We're trying to get
Mark Roner to interact with people with the Mo Migos,

(06:58):
but he's kind of elited.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yes, well, it's less that than it is that I'm
kind of at a race from the second I sit
down here till the minute I leave. That's true.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
There's a great deal to do in the news department
here at CAFEI MO.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
There is you can You could throw out, you know,
a comment every hour or so, let them know that
you're alive. Oh, the pressure, it is just slight pressure,
you know, turn to the side and cough.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
You don't want that, trust me, you don't want that.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
In all seriousness, No, we have to talk about what
has been going on in the Granada Hills Porter Ranch area,
the water incident. Here is what was happening earlier today,
and then I'll give you an update on the notice
to boil water.

Speaker 9 (07:39):
A long line of cars sit I lean on cesmaon
Boulevard Thursday morning, waiting for free cases of water.

Speaker 10 (07:45):
I was told last night at nine to eighteen that
they closed at nine, so and they open at seven,
and there's online. I'm number twenty one, and the line
is I can't see the end of the line.

Speaker 9 (07:57):
About ninety two hundred Porter Ranch and Granada Hills residents
have been without water since Tuesday. LA Department of Water
and Power say a valve that controls the floor of
water from a pump station that connects to a ten
million gallon water tank failed to open and water was
cut off. The broken valve is more than twenty feet
underground oil and gas pipelines, a critical fiber optic line,

(08:20):
and large boulders have made the excavation process harder.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
There's nothing I can do about it, so you know,
just go ahead with you know, anything that I can
do to conserve water and just get through this.

Speaker 9 (08:35):
The department set up three water distribution sites set to
reopen at seven am, but delays led to growing frustration.

Speaker 11 (08:42):
It's already seven to eight and nobody's here in the
same Thank you for being patient. I mean, we all
have we have to work, we have places to go,
we have to tend to our kids. You know, we
have to live our normal life. But this is hard
to do.

Speaker 9 (08:54):
The line, of course finally started moving around seven thirty.
LADWP sas pears could wrap up as soon as tomorrow are.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
But it could take several days.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
See that's important. Could take until tomorrow, could take several days.
And when you're talking about waters, it's not just drinking,
it's showering, it's cooking, it's it's fruit pets, all sorts
of uses, and this is very important to want to
make sure that this boil water notice is available to you.

(09:28):
Of course it's available on the website, but you should
hear it as well. LADWP is asking customers in the
Porter Ranch in Granada Hills area who are currently under
a boil water notice which was issued yesterday, not to
use the tap water at their homes and businesses to
assist with water restoration efforts underway. Again, do not use

(09:50):
the tap water at your home or business if you
are under currently a boil water notice and then it
goes on as a result of the broken valve to
a large diameter tru bunk line that supplies water to
the area, customers in those communities have either lost water
service entirely or have low water pressure at their.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Homes and businesses.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
As crews make progress toward refilling the water system in
the area, customers may experience low water pressure at their tap.
We need customers to keep their taps shut and use
bottled water for drinking and cooking, which uses to allow
the pot the pipes and tank serving your neighborhoods to refill.

(10:31):
So even though you may have low water pressure, that
is not a go ahead for you to use your
taps at this time, and this is assuming that you
are presently under a boil water notice. Using tap water
during these operations will cause a loss of pressure that
is critical to restore service. Please turn off sprinklers. Do

(10:53):
not use water available at your home or business for
irrigating your lawns and gardens, obviously, but someone will probably
try to do it. In addition to continuing its bottled
water distribution as you just heard about, LADWP will also
deploy three water tankers today as in Thursday, with non
drinking water to the three bottlewater distribution locations for customers

(11:16):
who want to pick up water for non drinking uses
such as lawns and gardens. Information information on these three
locations are available on the website ADWP dot com and
also meanwhile, LADWP crews continue to work around the clock
on two fronts to pump water back to the trunkline
to restore water to customers and excavating more than twenty

(11:40):
feet below ground to access the fifty four inch diameter
line supplying water to the area to repair the broken valve.
So this information is going to be updated again tomorrow
in the morning. I would encourage you to listen to
Wake Up Call and also bill handleshow they will probably
feature it prominently and quickly so you can get the

(12:02):
latest information.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
And you know when they say, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
It seems like it's all happening at once, where you
have the hottest days of the year and then you
have these water interruptions. And it's one thing when you
have a water interruption, but it's another thing when you
don't have any water availability. I think about those who
may be elderly. I think about those who may have

(12:26):
a disability or limited mobility. It's one thing to say, hey, Tila,
can you go run get some bottle of water or something.
That's one thing, But if you might be shut in
or limited as far as your mobility, it makes it
much more difficult to go to a local place where
they're handing out water, or if you need water just

(12:48):
so you can bathe or if you can cook, it
makes it much more difficult. So even though you may
have some water pressure, let me re emphasize if you
are under a boil water notice, la DWP is instructing
you to not use the available water at your tap,

(13:10):
even though you may have some water pressures that may
interfere with the complete restoration process.

Speaker 7 (13:16):
Yeah, and I didn't see this earlier. And this is
right where where we're at. This is right where you
know my co parents. Yes, this is what kids say
writing Granada Hills. That's why I'm making sure that she
I'm texting now to make sure that Hey, well this
is this is six hours ago.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
So we have some people who work at KFI who
live in the Porta Ranch area. Yeah, this is literally.

Speaker 7 (13:37):
Yeah, Like I was in Porter Ranch to day at
the school working and then you know, and I left
Granada Hills to go to Stus.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I'm like, this is right where I'm at.

Speaker 8 (13:47):
Damn it.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I try to tell people when we talk about let's
see the fire, so we talk about the earthquakes, we're
not talking about these things from a distance. When we
talk about let's say the Hard Summer Music Festival, we're
not talking about it is something that's happening over there.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
We're talking about as.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
People who live in these communities, who have relatives, friends
in these communities. And not only are we concerned about
the communities, we're concerned about the people that we actually know.
And if sometimes it's even us. We're talking to our
friends and family, inclusive of you, because it impacts us

(14:22):
as well. Sometimes when I talk to people, they sometimes forget.
It's like someone was very complimentary about our fire coverage
back in January, and I was telling her it was
a woman.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I said, this impacts us.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm thinking about people who live in these communities that
I know personally, what information, what they want, what they need.
Can I use this microphone to help someone right where
they are? You know, because I was saying, we have
people who work here who live in Porta Ranch. Talk
about your co parent who lives in Granada Hills. You

(14:59):
know this is important. So the last thing I'm gonna
do is be careless with the information or incomplete with
the information, because I know someone can be helped, and
someone will be helped more importantly, it's later with mo
Kelly KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere at the
iHeartRadio app. When we come back, we want to tell
you about the top stolen vehicles. Maybe your car is

(15:22):
on the list, and yes, we will keep you updated
on the Canyon fire and also if there's any other
information which should be disseminated regarding LADWP and that service
outage in the Porter of Ranch, Cornata Hills area, So
just keep it right here.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 8 (15:38):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
KFIM six forty. We live everywhere the iHeartRadio app and
also on YouTube. We were going to talk about, actually
we are going to talk about the most stolen vehicles,
and these are targeting one type of car above all
others in the country, and it's far more frequently stolen

(16:04):
than any other make or model. And you're probably wondering,
what is it mine? Should I go out and check
on my car? They list twenty, but we'll give you
the top ten. These are the most stolen cars in America. Mark,
you have any predictions before we get going Hondas and Toyotas,

(16:25):
Honda too, I know no, customarily that's the case. So
I think those are great, great guesses. Twaller, I know
for a fact it is not the Fort Broncos Sport.
I'm thinking Kias because they had that issue with the
whole USB thing. They were stealing Kias. Kia's definitely got
to be number one. That's what I'm thinking, all right,

(16:46):
let's see, hmmm. Coming in at number ten, Dodge Ram
fifteen hundred crew cab, short wheelbase, four wheel drive truck.
Obviously coming at number nine the most stolen cars in

(17:07):
America Land Rover range Rover four wheel drive. Really really,
that sounds crazy.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
I know, I know. Was that Daniel out there? I
guess that's Daniel's car.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Like no, wait, no, no, wait, then you're gonna stop
the sumble cast so you can run down into the
garage and just check and see if this car is okay.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Coming in at number eight of the most stolen vehicles
in America, Dodge Durango four wheel drive. So the four
wheel drives seem to be very, very popular. For some reason,
I'm getting a little nervous. I don't have a four
wheel drive. Number seven Silverado thirty five hundred crew cab

(18:03):
four will drive again. Now, this is America, not Southern California,
so it may vary. You know, your mileage may vary,
your your thefts may vary depending on your location.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, okay, so okay, feel little good.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, if you think about the totality of America, maybe okay,
come here.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Number six most stolen cars in America.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
GMCCR thirty five hundred crew cab four wheel drive.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Still most basically trucks.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
Oh so this might need to have to do with
like a lot of Midwestern maybe vehicle thievery Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, because this would not be California. Coming in at
number five. Accura TLX two will drive. People still drive accurates. Look,
I see them every now and never. Not often though,

(19:04):
you know they look like, oh yeah, that's a Honda
with the different logo on it. For the most part,
I know they're you know, they're the same corporation, but
still accurate. They just don't have a footprint anymore. Coming
in at number four of the most stolen cars in America.
Oddly enough, no Honda, no Toyota, no Kia, no not no,

(19:25):
never mind. GMC Sierra twenty five hundred crew cab four
wheel drive. Yeah, this is definitely across America, not southern California.
Coming here at number three the most stolen cars at America. Oh,

(19:49):
this is definitely across America. Chevy Camaro. Oh yeah that's
not no, no, no, no, no, Chevy Camrera. You'll see them,
but they're not like everywhere, not around here.

Speaker 7 (20:01):
It's almost like, oh, hey, he's got a cameric Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
And I think when I see a Camaro, oh they
still make the camera yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's not hot like it used to be, so I
don't know about that. Those newer ones are nice, really yeah.
I mean you're not really in the muscle cars though,
are you.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
No, No, I am in the muscle cars. I'm just
very discriminating when it comes to muscle cars. And I
don't like the new Corvette body style. No, I don't
like that either. You're right about that. But the new
Camaros and chargers are terrific. I like the charge argers.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Nice.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
Oh the charger, yes, but the car arrow that You're
not seeing them just out in the streets like that,
not right now, out here, out.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Not here, yeah, coming here.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Number two the most stolen cars in America or vehicles,
the accurate TLX four wheel drive. I can't even tell
you what that car looks like. It's absolutely not well
it sounds like you say before will drive. It's some
sort of truck or suv kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
I can't tell you what any of these cars look like.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Well, don't you ride a bike as in like motorcycle. Yes,
are you a Harley woman?

Speaker 5 (21:14):
If I could afford it?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, I'm asking that nice lady about her hog. Okay,
oh wow, I was about to say, don't ask her?
What dermo? You never mind? We love your riding.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Actually, I've never been on a Harley. I've been on
other motorcycles, but not a Harley. I love the sound
of a Harley.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
They are loud.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, yeah, but I'm saying I just just like the
sound is like, yeah, I dig the sound, but I've
never written one coming are number one the most stolen
cars in America.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
We were thinking Honda, Toyota, or Kia. Let's see if
we're right. Chevy Camaro ZL one. I guess that's the

(22:10):
souped up version that's got. This is definitely in the Midwest,
like college towns. Yeah, Johnny got a new Camaro x
y z st O one.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
You got it for graduation?

Speaker 6 (22:22):
All right?

Speaker 1 (22:22):

gave you the top ten. Number eleven was Chevy Silverado,
Number twelve was Dodge Ram thirty five hundred YadA Yad YadA.
Number thirteen Honda cr V Hybrid four wheel drive. Number
fourteen the GMC Sierra fifteen, Dodge Durango two wheel drive

Number eighteen the Mercedes Benz S class long wheelbase, four
wheel drive.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Number nineteen Jeep Gladiator.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Oh yeah, people, they're not stealing cheap Gladiators out here
in southern California.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
And number twenty is Cadillac Escalade ESV four wheel drive.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Still, this sounds like vehicles are stolen in places where
you need to get about the snow right right.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
And here are the least I should say, the least
frequently stolen vehicles. Very quickly, I'll give you the top ten.
No drum roll, just the top ten least stolen. Number
ten the super ru Cross Track. Yeah, because I think
is ugly. Number nine Volkswagen ID four. We have a
friend who has in ID four. It's a nice little vehicle.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Number eight Ford Mustang mock E And that is also
another electric vehicle, so that probably has something to do
with it. Number seven the Volvo XC forty four wheel drive.
Number six the Volvo XC ninety four wheel drive of
the least stolen vehicles in America.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
No one is stealing electric vehicles. No, they're not.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
A Number five, the Tesla Model four wheel drive, number four,
the Toyota RAB four Prime four wheel drive, that is
RAB fours.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
They look they don't make yes, they do. They do.
They kind of look like my car. They do.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
There are a lot of them out there. Once you
see it, like you can't unsee it. They're out there everywhere.
Number three, Tesla Model three two will drive. Number two
Tesla Model Y four wheel drive. And the number one
least frequently stolen vehicle, Tesla Model three four will drive.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
The resale market on parts and whatever for electric vehicle
is probably, yeah, almost non existent.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
So there's like no bikes in this one.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Nope, No, And they're stealing bikes. Rob Well, I'm saying,
I'm quite sure they are angelous, but you know, not.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
At the rate they're stealing cars. And Mark drives on
Mercedes and you saw one Mercedes on the list.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, you know where I work, I can afford a Mercedes,
two of them. I have two of them.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Look, I see a lot of people who have an
eighty to ninety thousand dollars Mercedes and they're living in
a one bedroom apartment.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Now it's weird to me. It's always been weird to
me how much people will pay a month for a car.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I don't get it. And look at eighty ninety thousand
dollars Mercedes. You're going to pay at least one thousand
dollars a month. And I'm not talking about insurance. I'm
not talking about maintenance. I'm just talking about the car
note itself. Yeah, or people with those I like those
Jeep Wranglers, but those are insanely expensive. Or is it
an insult by the way that I wouldn't even steal
a Tesla? No, Look, you have to have a place

(25:34):
to charge that bad boy. Yeah, where are you going
with your Tesla? After the wild life?

Speaker 7 (25:39):
You can find those in Tesla's one thing about those,
they are very easy to find. The Tesla Corporation has
tracking and test because and I only know it is
because our friend he has a Tesla and like when
he needs to get it repaired, they can activate the
self drive function and activate and drive it to the

(25:59):
dealer ship. Ye, he doesn't have to be in it.
They can say, don't worry, we'll bring it in. They
know exactly where it's at. They can bring it in
and send it back to him.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
So anytime there's a recall, which is fairly often, they
can just disappear the car. Yeah, they can disappear the car. Okay, absolutely,
I mean yeah, it's counterintuitive. He must spend a lot
of time without it, not even given permission. No, no, hey,
and he is he has been trying to get this
one thing fixed since forever. And it's like he's like
so frustrated because he'll spend like three hours on the

(26:28):
Tesla line and it's an AI system, so it really
gives him the run around. But but but but when
they sent him a loaner, it's like he let it
pulled up to the car, and it pulled up to
his house and it had all of his exact settings
already in the car, the stations, the seating, the AC everything.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
He doesn't have to do anything. It's like the program
in his Tesla it just switched over to the loaner Tesla.
Imagine how happy he must have been. He was excited. Look,
I have been in some Tesla's. They are really really nice.
There are some fine automobiles. Until they aren't.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
No, I'm just saying they're fine automobiles. I just refuse
to buy one.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
I just refuse and asked that in with him the
theater in this thing, like he puts it on them,
like I can see why you go to lunch in
this thing. He's like, I'll be back and he just
go sits in his car till they see and watch
his movies on.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
The big is huge. Yes, it's huge. I just won't
be buying one, not any times. Not not what I'm
looking for in a car. What please? What are you
looking for? You don't have to have this car? Well?
Who doesn't like one of those?

Speaker 11 (27:36):
Huh?

Speaker 8 (27:37):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
CAFI.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Mister bo Kelly here, we're live everywhere on YouTube. Got
to check out the YouTube video simulcast like, subscribe and
share re live on Facebook and the iHeartRadio app. Have
some la USD news to share. Yesterday we talked about
all the kids which were going back to school in
various school districts, but in LAUSD they have a new

(28:10):
fleet of about one thousand buses. One thousand If you
didn't know, LAUSD's transportation is one of the largest in
the country, and they're highlighting this new fleet, which includes
one hundred and eighty all electric buses. Some of the
buses will run on alternative fuel sources like probably gas,

(28:30):
natural gas, improved seat belts and Wi Fi on board
all one thousand buses in the fleet. But if you
happen to be a parent, here's what I think is
the best part. All the buses have been outfitted with
GPS technology that connects to an app which will allow

(28:50):
parents and school officials to track the movements and schedules
of each bus.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
That's kind of cool. That's a good way of utilize
seeing technology.

Speaker 10 (29:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I was a kid, unfortunately, and I do meet Unfortunately.
My parents taught at every school I attended, so there
was no avoiding them. And yeah, there was no hanging
around after school with my friends or walking to school.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
They drove me to school. No, there was no no.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
They kept me on a real short lease shut. They
knew my grades before I knew my grades. They would
just walk down the hall to the administration building and say, so,
what are Morris's grades?

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Like, how's he doing? Is he turned in all his assignments?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
There's nothing I could get away with academically, so there
was nothing like going by. We had the thing called
b Elers behind the library where people would go to
smoke cigarettes and weed. But there's none of that going
to happen for me. This impossible.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
I grew up in a latch key generation, but I'd
never had a key to my house because they wouldn't
have allowed that.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
They anytime I going to enter the house, they had
to know about it. That is nightmarish. Oh no, it is,
it is, it is.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And we had issues along the way. Let's put it
that way. You must have acted out in some way.
Oh absolutely. I don't know if they still do it today.
But it used to be where you have citizenship grades.
You'd have your letter grade and then you have citizenship grades.
It was excellent, satisfactory, unsatisfactory. I would get an A

(30:26):
in the class and an unsatisfactory citizenship.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I got a couple of those because I was just
going to be a smart ass. I was mouthing off
all the time, and as far as I was concerned,
I'm getting the grade. So shut up, mom, Okay, I
didn't get the good grades either.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
I'm too young for this.

Speaker 10 (30:43):
What is this?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
You didn't have citizenship grades.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
I don't remember that.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
No, you're gonna have to explain that fascist system we
add to the young person citizenship.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
We were graded on how we comported ourselves, whether we
behaved in class, and we got either E for excellent,
S for saturd Factory or you for unsatisfactory.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Oh, I probably got all us.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I got some mus in there, and I just did
it just to spite my parents, because I did not
want to go to a school where my parents were
teaching every fricking year.

Speaker 5 (31:14):
Be like, hey, guys, I just want to transfer things.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
I look, I wanted to go to my neighborhood high school,
which was Narbonne. They wanted me to go to South
Torrence High School where they were teaching, or at least
my mother was teaching at the time.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I had a very strict upbringing. They'll deny it to
this day, or at least my mother will. But yeah,
they have no idea. I'm still doing it. Always issues.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Oh no, my mom, I never. We didn't ground you
for months, Yes you did. You were so repressed. I
would advise nobody to go digging around in your backyard,
bones everywhere.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yep, very quickly before we close out the segment, we
all remember that one teacher speaking of which who made
a difference, who believed in us, challenged us, or just

Speaker 5 (32:47):

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Is she one of your teachers? I guess you can.
It doesn't have to be one of your teachers, just
says nominate a teacher. Do you remember your elementary school
teachers by name?

Speaker 5 (32:58):
I remember no Mark Ron, You, Elthridge, Oh.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, one of them picked me up by my hair
for wisen Off. Yeah, mister Cassidy. I hope he's in
hell now.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I remember kindergarten had Miss Parchment, she's passed on. First
grade I think all my teachers are gone was Miss Thompson,
and I always asked her how old are you?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
And she said as old as my tongue? What was
that mean? Exactly?

Speaker 3 (33:22):
What? That's either really lame or exceptionally dirty? And I
don't know which it is. Which is it was probably
lame because that wasn't thinking along those lines back the
second grade before I were going to break it was
Miss Cochrane.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Third grade was Miss Pennington. I believe she's still with us.

Speaker 10 (33:38):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Fourth grade was Harold Crumbley, he's passed on. Fifth grade
was Shirley Trevor. Who's that one with a great name
that I wanted to use in a story. You had
one with just a man that was sixth.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Grade and that was social studies, Cleatus Nestle Road.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
I gotta write that down, sach c l E. T
u s. It's a real person, Cleatus Nestle. I'm using
that name.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
We called him Nessel Toad. Now, did you have those
paddles that had the holes in them so they could
hit you faster and harder with them? Yeah, but they
couldn't put us where they could. They stopped using them
when I was at Arnold Elementary. They could hit you
on your knuckles though, with the rulers.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
So okay.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Well, mister Kincaid in the fifth grade, I believe fifth
or sixth grade, made me walk all the way across
the school to another teacher to ask if I could
borrow one of those paddles, bring it back, let him
use it on me, then take it back to the
other teacher and thank her for letting me borrow it.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Did it whistle? Yeah? It sure did?

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Mine was.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
She would make me read in front of the class
the most, but she knew I didn't know how to read.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't know what to say to that. Surely that's changed,
exactly right. We can only hope.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Well, yeah, but I hated reading in front of in
front of people.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
I still do.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Oh, I'd love just being an a hole in class
in a class clown.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Well clear out. The next segment Robin's going to do
some reading. Okay, KFI amsins forty Live Everywhere Heart Radio.
